RIYADH: The Transport General Authority launched a new route for autonomous vehicles in Riyadh to transport passengers, linking Hayat Mall and Riyadh Gallery, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday.

The authority said that the vehicles will operate daily under direct regulatory and technical supervision, providing a safe and innovative transport experience for beneficiaries.

They covered a combined distance of more than 30,000 km, highlighting the initiative’s success and the readiness to expand the service and launch additional routes in the near future.
